The Becoming You Show with Leah Roling: Inspire, Impact, & Influence Your Life
Join us to today for an enlightening journey where we explore the often overlooked aspect of personal growth - mismanaged action, or as we like to call it, behavioral clutter. In this podcast, we delve deep into understanding how our actions, consciously or unconsciously, can become cluttered by fears, leading us away from our true goals, dreams, and what we consider our life's assignment. It's a common human trait to notice and judge the actions of others that annoy us, but have you ever stopped to wonder what these judgments reveal about ourselves? These irritations can be illuminating, acting as mirrors reflecting back on areas within us that need attention and transformation. This podcast serves as a starting point for that introspection, guiding you to recognize where you might be mismanaging your actions and how to begin clearing out that behavioral clutter. We'll explore the shift from fear to love, examining how fear-based actions differ vastly from those grounded in love and truth. We're not just discussing theory; we're providing practical insights and tools to help you understand why we often fail to do what we know is right for us. This fear loop, created unconsciously, can be a significant barrier to living authentically. But, by bringing awareness to these patterns and actively choosing to shift out of fear, we can start to align our actions with who we truly believe we are, rather than simply following what we think we should do. Join us as we dig into the reasons behind our behaviors and discover how to realign our actions with our deepest values and aspirations. Whether it's in your personal life, your career, or your relationships, understanding and clearing behavioral clutter is key to achieving harmony and fulfillment. Let's embark on this journey of transformation together, shifting our actions to manifest the life we dream of.

You have a choice. You are all the architects of your own life, and the choices you make determine your destiny. Choosing the right habits, people, places, and things to surround yourself with is the way to create a life that reflects your desired goals and aligns with your higher self. However, if you don't actively choose these elements in your life, then someone else will do it for you—and it may not be what we want. Living a purposeful life is all about making the right choices. Making the right choices about what you want is all about being in alignment with the person you want to be and where you're going in life. Whatever you choose to do and not to do affects your life. So many things that go wrong in life can be avoided by making better choices, whether that is in health, relationships, pursuits, or the people in our life. We manifest everything around us through our thoughts and decisions. If our thoughts are self-limiting, our choices will be self-deprecating and become our life. In this episode of Fall in Love with Fitness, John Sacco shares with me his journey, the massive obstacles he faced, and how he rewired his entire life. He also expounds on how to make better choices that align with your highest self and drive you toward your transformation. What You'll Learn from this Episode: How to take control of your life and be in the driver's seat of your life at all times. How to cultivate your mental edge through delayed gratification, self-control, and consistency How to think and make choices that are in alignment with your future and highest-self How to redefine and reinvent your life and experience your transformation And much more! “If you don't make choices, they will be made for you.” – John Sacco Topics Covered: 00:59 – John's story and how he got where he's today 06:36 – Making choices that are in alignment with your higher self 10:18 – Delayed gratification and how it gives you a mental edge 15:12 – Uncluttering your life: Doing one thing how you do everything 17:14 – What inspired John to redefine and reinvent his life 21:17 – The urgency that moved John to his transformation path 24:49 – How to make your personal relationship a mastermind 32:13 – How to reach out and connect with John Key Takeaways: Consistency and time with all things in life will get you significant results. How you do anything is how you do everything. In life, we don't change; we grow, and part of that growth is addressing everything that makes us who we're. Your personal relationship with your partner is your first mastermind; it's where decisions are first made. If it is all about you, you'll lose everything; focus on how you can serve others. It is through giving that we receive.

Have you ever felt like you were constantly chasing "more"? Yet, we are more than our possessions, acquisitions, accumulations, and titles, and Enough is actually a choice we control. Looking at what we have rather than what we're missing frees us for living and experiencing, instead of numbing and buffering. We can be mindful and sensual, to experience the fireworks in our lives. Living fulfilled rather than filling a void; addition by subtraction, rather than distraction.

Today's guest, David DeWitt, helps us unclutter our money! We start with David's story of being diagnosed as a child, ignoring it, and then his awareness at 21. David shares his top 3 money strategies that are great for anyone, but especially those with ADHD. He explains how drawing a timeline can help you visualize your long term goals. And he simplifies the budgeting process to make it differently wired brain friendly even if you want to use pen and paper. No fancy spreadsheet required. David encourages us to set up the financial systems now because they'll save us time and money in the long run. Stay tuned for David's uber focused productivity strategy. About David DeWitt David DeWitt is a registered investment advisor and podcaster who helps adults with ADHD take back control of their money.

Guest Pastor Matt Steen's message: Uncluttering LifeGuest Pastor Matt SteenWe are going to be taking a deeper look at how things creep into our lives. They may not be bad things, or evil things, a lot of the time they are good things, even great things… but they aren't the best things. And so while our lives fill up with all of these good things, slowly we are distracted from the best. As a result, we find ourselves tired, weary, overwhelmed, uncertain, unfocused, and disconnected. We find ourselves asking questions like “How am I going to do all of this?” “What did I get myself into?” Or making sad jokes about having extra hours in the day. We are convinced that this is NOT the life that Jesus has called us to live… Vista Church - 4200 S.

A general topic podcast about life from the humorous perspective of someone who has a background in video game development. In this episode, Bryan talks about the great and relieving feeling of getting the cluttered area's within a home organized and cleaned up. The thoughts and opinions expressed on this podcast are those of the individual contributors alone and are not a reflection of their employers.
For the next three weeks, we are celebrating our milestone of 100 episodes by releasing our top 3 most popular shows. Today's episode is our third most popular show ever, and that's no surprise being that it featured one of our favorite ladies (Courtney B. Ellis, 3x guest of Woven) and one of our universal struggles (Uncluttering our lives). It feels as timely as ever in the wake of our global pandemic. We hope you enjoy! ------ Here are the OG show notes from Episode 44: This week, author and pastor Courtney Ellis joins us to wrap up our Fun Stuff series with an episode about Uncluttering. We can't even really talk about "Fun" without talking about what gets in the way of it, and for many of us it's a lot of small things that add up to busy days and tired souls. On this episode, we discuss uncluttering our possessions, our calendars, and our digital spaces. The approaches we take will look very different for every person, but the end results are the same: peace, increased happiness, and rest. Courtney is funny and candid, and we LOVED having her on! Check out Uncluttered (currently the #1 new release in its category!), and enjoy the The FREE Uncluttered study guide and the first chapter of Uncluttered. Check out her website, Facebook and Twitter, too.
Show Notes Let's all take a few nice, long, deep breaths. Hi Friends, We'll be needing a lot more deep breathing in these coming weeks! This week's episode is a recording of a live webinar Sara Kuljis & I did earlier this week. Our topic was Creating Structure, Fun, & Connection while we have our kids home and have a whole lot of unstructured time on our hands. Participants shared many amazing resources, which I have included in this post (scroll down). If you'd prefer a downloadable PDF (with links), use the sign up box below. While this is a challenging time, we can also view it as an opportunity to evaluate and doing a reset - adding in some fun and connection to our family lives. Please send me your challenges, questions, and feedback. I'd love to connect! Stay well! Big Ideas Connection is weaved through everything we do. Try weaving some connection into the structure of your day - a walk with the dog, family dinner, or a nightly game or puzzle are all great options! STRUCTURE The schedule at home will not be the same as at school, and that's okay. But it's good for there to be some predictability. For kids who have synchronous classes, their schedule will be dictated by their online classes. For younger kids, or those who do not have scheduled online classes, consider having guidelines about getting school work done before other activities or in the morning. Instead of following a rigid schedule, consider using a "Daily Checklist." This allows kids (and parents) some autonomy to choose when to do different things. We're all feeling a lack of control right now, so giving our kids some choices (when possible) is helpful. Audrey's daughter, Gretchen, created a checklist for her high school students that works well for adults, too. It incorporates not just the school work, but the other things that will make us feel emotionally and physically healthy. Read more and download Gretchen’s checklist for her high school students (that also works for adults)! REMEMBER THE "ESSENTIALS" I talked with Dr. Jess Shatkin about the "Triumvirate of Good Health" (Sleep, Exercise, Nutrition) in Episode 24. Now's a good opportunity to look at how we (and our kids) are doing in those important areas! It's also important to attend to your kids' emotional needs during this unsettled time, listening and empathizing with them over their losses and frustrations, some of which may seem trivial from an adult perspective. Rather than discounting their feelings, we need to validate their emotions and show empathy. I made this one-minute video about validating kids' feelings a few years ago. It seems especially applicable right now. This is also an excellent opportunity to make sure your family has enough of each of what Challenge Success calls "PDF": Playtime, Downtime, & Family Time. These are common-sense strategies to promote health and well-being. Download Challenge Success PDF for Elementary-Age Kids Download Challenge Success PDF for Teens CONNECTION & FUN Try having at least one meal together. If you haven't been able to have family dinner, try starting now! And let the kids cook or help you cook! Do some sort of family sharing. If your family has a faith tradition, consider watching a live-stream of the service or listening to a podcast together. Exercise together! Get outside if you can to walk, hike, run, or bike. If you have a ping pong table, basketball hoop, or trampoline, take advantage of those resources. Or, stream a fitness or dance video to do together. It could be good for a laugh trying to attempt some new dance or yoga moves! Cultivate gratitude during these stressful times. With your family, name people, things, experiences and opportunities you are grateful for. Gratitude builds hope, stamina and a kind of “emotional immunity," and helps us feel less alone. Model how to keep moving forward for our children. Read together. Consider doing a family read aloud of one of your favorite books. Come up with a hobby or new activity you can try together, either in pairs or as a whole family. Pull out some games or puzzles. Learn a new card game to play together. Resources Shared by Webinar Participants, Audrey, & Sara What are things we can do together as a family? My son is 12 and really misses playing with his friends. We take our whole family (son 12, daughter 8) and throw and catch a football on the beach. We only last a half hour or so, but they love it. Also we bike a lot and that is great with social distancing. We are doing a lot of reading aloud. Right now my kids are LOVING the book "Ungifted". It makes us laugh a lot. Went for a walk and did physical distancing with my 23 year old niece yesterday to connect with her. Books - it is nice to step away and get into a story. Reading out loud with kids while they work on puzzles/legos. There are several restaurants in my town that are offering pick up. I’m taking my daughter a few times a week to pick up her favorite lunch and walk to the beach to eat. If you have access to fleece via amazon or elsewhere kids can make fleece blankets for a group called Project Linus. They are easy to make and fun to do while chatting or listening to music . Beetles Project - resources usually for outdoor educators, but in these times, perhaps for families, too Coursera classes are often free and wonderful. My daughters and I did a Yale course on the science of well being and I highly recommend it. For families of the Christian faith, I think this is a great time for family bible studies or book clubs, too. We've started asking our kids to research something and bring fun facts to dinner to share with all of us. Funnily, our son thought I asked him to bring facts about Candyland instead of Canyonlands, a place we want to visit, so last night we got a great laugh over the miscommunication! 20 Screen Free Things to do with Your Kids Indoors Watch a TV series together Take a virtual trip to a museum Another virtual museum list (Travel & Leisure) Soul Shoppe Teach Peacemaking at Home – Dara Ackerman who works at our camps is involved!

We've been doing that for the past 3 years, so nice to already have established. What are academic/educational opportunities?

“In a world that’s going so fast, if you can find the space in yourself that can truly slow down than everything else you’ll find is a lot clearer.”In this episode Sid and I got a rare chance to sit with our friend Ryion Pun while he was with us in Seattle from the Singapore office.

Show notes & links available here. In this episode, my friend Sara Kuljis and I are back together talking about uncluttering our schedules and our homes. Sara and her husband Steve Kuljis are the owners and directors of Yosemite Sierra Summer Camp and Emerald Cove Day Camp. Sara is also a certified Gallup Strengths Coach. Sara and I have been friends for two decades, and she has been a regular guest on the podcast talking in past episodes about strengths, sibling conflicts & relationships, gratitude, how to compliment our kids, grit, and more. Together we also do a live parenting workshop. Big Ideas Uncluttering our Schedules Look back at past events that family members enjoyed and identify what was special about those experiences to help you determine what your family values. Talk about people or families you admire and why you admire them. Use their example to inspire your family's values or actions. Look at your calendar of activities to see which ones support your values. Note where the gaps of downtime are so that you can make time for activities that move your values forward. Consider using the values worksheet to assess what you value most individually or as a family. If your kids are younger, select one or two to focus on for a season or year. Some questions to consider: What are our family values? What are the things we hope our family is known for? Try to identify two 0r three characteristics or values you'd like to be hallmarks of your family. What are qualities we want to develop? If you want to do a deeper dive into your family values, consider downloading Sara's Family Pace & Space worksheet (also available in the resource section of Happy Campers). Consider coming up with a short family motto or song that represents something that's important to you. One of Audrey's favorites that she put on a poster photo of her kids was from Lee Brice's song Love Like Crazy: Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense Never let your prayin' knees get lazy And love like crazy Uncluttering our Homes Involve the whole family in a decluttering project! Decide together where to donate any used items in good condition. Keep the time short and model how to give things away and clean out your spaces. Consider using something like Amazon's givebackbox to make it easy to donate. Quotes Audrey: "Life is so busy and chaotic and so we have to be really intentional about making it not that way." Audrey: "Spring is a time when it is starting to get warmer, flowers are blooming outside and it always feels kind of like a fresh start. We can think of this as our psychological spring cleaning." Sara: "When our schedules are so packed and our children are racing from one thing to the next, it is really hard--perhaps even impossible--to be the parent we want to be, the spouse we want to be, the family we want to be. That's because we love others slowly, not quickly. We serve each other slowly, not quickly. We empathize slowly, not quickly. Some of the best things in life have to be slowed down enough to do well." Sara: "At summer camp, we have kids show up and they're just exhausted. They've had no downtime, no unorganized playtime, no just hanging out with mom and dad time. They are as exhausted as I am after a heavy-duty month of work and that is not our best space in which to grow and learn and thrive." Sara: "What are our family values? What are the things our family stands on? What do we hope our family is known for? What are the qualities that we honestly want our kids to be learning? There are a number of amazing values that we can build into our family culture if we do it intentionally and involve everybody. Identify two or three values that are going to be the hallmarks of your family." Audrey: "Businesses have taglines or vision statements. It's kind of fun to think about what your family's motto could be." Sara: "It's helpful to look at the calendar of a given week or month together and look at the balance of activities. Mark the ones that match your values. It's scary to realize that only one thing our family did actually supported that value. All the rest were very busy and demanding things, but they didn't actually help move our family along in that value. That indicates our activities are not reflecting our values." Sara: "Sometimes we, as parents, in our anxiousness for our kids to be successful adults, add activities to our kids' schedule like extra tutors, extra club sports, and very academic, achievement-focused activities and we're overlooking those activities that actually build character and the human being parts of them that are the real things that create future success, healthy relationships, strong communities, sense of identity and self-confidence." Audrey: "I always thought the service/volunteering things we do need to be grand gestures, but a lot of times what our kids will remember might be more of the simple gestures." Sara: "Most things aren't grand. Most of life is every day. So how do we make these things an everyday moment?" Sara: "I would urge us not to add anything to our schedule unless we cut something out. That's just more stress, more anxiety, more feeling overwhelmed." Sara: "Decluttering is skill we can teach our children. It's way more fun to declutter together than all by yourself. Consider spending even only an hour and inviting your kids to help choose something to declutter." Audrey: "If we just take 30 minutes and each person picks what thing they are going to organize and together come up with one bag to donate or declutter the house, it would really move the needle and make your home feel less cluttered." Audrey: "I'm a believer that outer order leads to inner calm and so I think this is a great practice."

A few months ago I got a book in the mail titled Uncluttered. Imagine that frozen moment in time, when I was holding this book while standing in my kitchen surrounded by, you guessed it, clutter! In spite of the stuff that creates clutter, today's podcast isn't about removing physical clutter. It's about removing noise, stress, and over commitments. This show is for anyone who wakes up from a nap and says, "I wish I could do that again." It's for people who buy books and find them later dusty and unread. It's for those who meet God on vacation or in quiet moments and wish they had more times like that. Courtney Ellis is a writer, speaker, and mom of three. She serves alongside her husband as a Presbyterian pastor in Southern California. She is the author of Uncluttered and Almost Holy Mama. Courtney is also an advocate for minimal-ish living, a crossword puzzle nerd, and a candy connoisseur. This episode will hit home for a lot of you, because it’s about discovering that there is room and space in our lives for the things that matter. We just have to sometimes make that room. Courtney shares her journey with getting rid of physical, digital, and time clutter and learning to let go and rest. She shares how to make it a personal experience depending on the seasons and preferences of your family. It’s all about living with less to create more. This is a fun, practical, and sweet interview. I know you’re going to love Courtney as much as I do. Show Notes: [03:20] Courtney grew up in the Midwest. She's from Wisconsin. She now lives in Southern California with her family where she has a fear of earthquakes. [04:38] Her oldest son is seven. Her middle son is 3 and 1/2. She also has a nine month old baby girl. [04:59] Courtney and her husband are co-pastors in a Presbyterian Church. They take turns being home with the kids. [06:08] It's easy to burn out if you aren't caring for your marriage and caring for your soul. Simplicity, Sabbath practice, and resting are even more important for those of us who serve in ministry. [06:53] Courtney has written two books, and they both came out the same year. [07:43] Writing is what fills Courtney's cup back up. [08:09] The lessons of Courtney's books are universal, because they aren't how to books, they are me to books. They are invitations to practice spiritual practices and live with less, so God can give you more. [09:29] Uncluttered is about going from overwhelmed to rest. Her schedule, closets, and digital media were too full. Something had to change, because she couldn't go on that way any longer. [10:04] The book is all about less. It's about how she pared down her digital life and cleaned out her closets. The second half of the book was the biggest surprise to her, because she started writing about less and God started teaching her about more. [10:36] God wanted to give her amazing things, but her schedule had no room. It's the story of more to less to more. [15:24] Courtney and her family began the journey by stopping. They stopped buying non-essentials, and they stopped putting things on their calendar. [16:10] They also have a sacred family Sabbath. They rest, play, and nap. They have to say no to a lot to make it happen, but it reset every other area in their lives. [19:26] Possessions aren't neutral. Everything we have takes time to store, care for, and manage. Each possession was stealing time from Courtney. She wanted that valuable time back. [22:28] Uncluttering the soul and the spirit has changed everything for Courtney and her family. She also pared-down social media. We can make the choices whether we want to give our time away or not. [25:49] What would you do if the end result was hearing God better? [28:46] For Courtney, it was a journey of God being willing to meet her where she is in her life now. [29:26] Courtney would meditate on scripture in the shower or pray while she was folding laundry. [30:06] We don't have to wait, God will meet us where we are. [33:00] We wrap up with three fun questions that may or may not include Asian Box, sitting with someone in a messy house, and Michelle Williams.

Lisa Zawrotny created Positively Productive Systems after a deeply overwhelming time in her life juggling multiple roles as a caregiver for her Mom (who had Alzheimer’s) as well as wife, mother (to kids & cats) and as a business owner. After being trapped in her own clutter and chaos, she took back her health and sanity through a combination of renewed self-care, personal development, and customized organizing and productivity approaches. The process was so healing for her and her family, she knew immediately she wanted to guide others in the same way. As a holistic productivity coach certified in time management and life coaching, Lisa helps chronically overwhelmed clients find success through simplicity by decluttering their lives (inside & out) and designing systems and habits that honor their personalities and values.

This week, author and pastor Courtney Ellis joins us to wrap up our Fun Stuff series with an episode about Uncluttering. We can't even really talk about "Fun" without talking about what gets in the way of it, and for many of us it's a lot of small things that add up to busy days and tired souls. On this episode, we discuss uncluttering our possessions, our calendars, and our digital spaces. The approaches we take will look very different for every person, but the end results are the same: peace, increased happiness, and rest. Courtney is funny and candid, and we LOVED having her on! Check out Uncluttered (currently the #1 new release in its category!), and enjoy the The FREE Uncluttered study guide and the first chapter of Uncluttered. Check out her website, Facebook and Twitter, too.

If you plan on selling your home, then it needs to look its best. Here are five ways to dress your home for success: 1. Curb appeal. It’s very important that buyers get a good first impression of your home. The yard needs to be manicured. In the spring and summer, make sure there are flowers in the yard. In the fall, rake the leaves. Make sure everything looks nice and neat. 2. Uncluttering your home. Your home needs to be decluttered. Thin out the closets, take everything off the countertops, and let people see the size and space of your home. Getting rid of clutter will make it look more spacious. 3. Cleaning.You need to thoroughly clean your home. Make sure everything looks nice and neat. Dust everything, mop the floors, and clean the carpets so the home looks presentable. “Thoroughly clean your home so that everything looks nice and neat.” 4. Making repairs. Take care of minor repairs like broken windows, peeling paint, or loose downspouts. Everything needs to be done. 5. Neutralizing. Bring in neutral decor so that buyers won’t feel like they have to do any painting. Get rid of wallpaper, too. If you follow these five tips, your home will look spectacular and sell for the most amount of money in the least amount of time. If you have any other questions about selling your home, just give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!

"Ohhh look-bright shiny object!" "Squirrel!!!" Do you find yourself chasing shinny objects, chasing "squirrels?" Is it possible to “Clear out the chaos and make room for life”?

Stoner Capricorn, Mars and the Moon have aligned to bring you a satisfying and relaxing month of April. The easy flow of the universe will make simple problems and obstacles bounce off you with an ease you normally do not feel. Now is the time stoner Capricorn! You can break out that sweet Indica green your mom warned you about. A nice meditative session with couch lock can be a healing and recuperative state. Do not misinterpret my words stoner Capricorn; rest, recuperation, and an easy flow are not excuses for inaction or laziness. Work must still be done in the April time period stoner Capricorn. But the cosmos has blessed you with a warm wind to help you with comfortable accomplishments. The key to the April time period is independent thought. During your meditative smoke sessions in April try to focus on what makes you unique, and how you approach situations & problems. Start the month with an intent towards organization. Uncluttering your mind will help your thoughts and decisions flow more freely. All of this will help as the universal flow will be calm and supportive. “A friend with weed is a friend indeed.” Not always stoner Capricorn. Towards the end of the April time period, do not let the easy flow of the universe distract you from solid decision making and constructive analysis. New cannabis companions should be vetted with objectivity. Do not turn a blind third eye towards enthusiastic new acquaintances. http://stonerhoroscope.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/CapricornApril.mp3 Tweet
